The eliminations and the finals of minor field events had been previously run off so that on Saturday afternoon visitors had the pleasure of seeing the finals of the more important events follow one another in quick succession. Of the many close finishes perhaps the most exciting was that of the 220. Field got away to an early lead, with Johnston running second. Gradu- ally Johnston closed the gap, was neck and neck with Field 10 yards from the finish, and managed to breast the tape no more than a few inches ahead. A. Johnston won the Victor Ludorum. R. E. Pooley, a promising distance runner, captured the intermediate crown, and J. Shields won the Junior Cup. The Inter-House Competition went to the Upper House by a margin of 14 points.

TENNIS - BADMINTON - SQUASH DURING the course of the year the many boys who have played these games have done so more with a view to recreation than with serious intent of improving their own game. We consequently have develop- ed no players of outstanding ability. In the case of badminton, this is rather surprising as in addition to ample time for practise there has been available the same coaching that has been largely responsible for the remarkable showing made by the local Badminton Club this year. The thud of balls in the squash courts could be heard most afternoons during the winter term, many newcomers having joined the ranks of squash enthusiasts. The shortness of the summer term, and the demands of cricket, rowing, and sailing, so limited the time that could be spent on the tennis courts that a high standard could hardly be hoped for. That there is enthusiasm and potential ability amongst the boys was evident from the matches played in the course of the school championship. Nearly all of the twenty-one players who entered for the singles played in the doubles also. The singles finalists, I. Gillespie and Todd, each playing the steady, unspectacular style of tennis that is content to wait for an opponents error, played to three sets before Gillespie won the final point. The rallies in this match, if not as brisk as those usually seen in championship play, were at least twice as long. Page Twenty-Nine
